Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

BASECAMP_ACCESS_TOKEN, BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

com — github.com/basecamp/bc3-api).

Setup:

  1. Register an integration at https://launchpad.37signals.com/integrations.
  2. Implement OAuth2 authorization-code flow with https://launchpad.37signals.com/authorization (response includes user's account_id).
  3. Set BASECAMP_ACCESS_TOKEN to the obtained access token.
  4. Set BASECAMP_ACCOUNT_ID to your Basecamp account ID (a 6-9 digit number — visible in any Basecamp URL or returned by the OAuth identity endpoint).

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${BASECAMP_ACCESS_TOKEN}.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in Cursor

Cursor legge i server MCP da ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Aggiungi questa voce:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Ottieni la tua MCP API key da AnythingMCP → Profilo → MCP API Keys → Nuova Key.
  2. Salva il file e riavvia Cursor.
  3. Apri Cursor → Impostazioni → MCP per verificare che Basecamp sia presente e "Connected".
  4. Inizia a chattare — tutti gli strumenti di Basecamp sono ora invocabili.
